1. THOMAS GRAUNT/GRANT, was born probably in Scotland about 1630 and died at Rehoboth, Massachusetts on 12 June 1690. He married at Rehoboth probably about 1666, SARAH BROOK/BROOKS.

Biographical Notes:
The first record of Thomas Grant in Rehoboth is as a witness for a release of a bond on 29 Aug 1657. See below book.

SOURCES AND NOTES:
My maternal grandmother’s cousin, Myron Scott, authored the book, ‘Ten Generations of Grants,’ published in 1971, which links my ancestry to Thomas Grant, listed as a prisoner from the Battle of Worcester and indentured servant transported on the John and Sarah in 1651. The documentation linking the first generation of Grants to second generation is noted to be sparse. As we discussed, a Y chromosome test from a descendant that is completely patrilineal would be helpful for this group’s research, and eventually establishing that Thomas Grant on the John and Sarah, was the great grandfather of this Captain George Grant, patriot at Valley Forge, participant in the Pompton Mutiny and Whiskey Insurrection: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=53917516

My second cousin, Paul Grant, III, fits the bill and has indicated his willingness to participate.
